He was a valuable member of the forum community. It broke my heart to ban him.

Demon hunter was my initial main. Then one of these latter patches when they nerfed the shit out of it, I went Monk. Plus, I'm playing HardCore now... So Demon Hunter is simply not viable. Too much squishy.

So you're right on, except now I'm a monk.

A lot of people fizzled out quickly. It's no D2. They basically didn't test it well enough, and made it too easy. People beat inferno in like 2 weeks, instead of the 'months' prediction they promised. So then they did a poorly-thought-out patch to blanket nerf... everything. They fucked up the drop rates, they broke Demon Hunter pretty badly.

They've admitted they fucked up with the patch and promised fixes to some of the problems (like drops rate, magic find gear, etc) but those fixes have yet to come.

And they havent patched in PVP yet.

The people I know who are still farming are just waiting patiently for PVP.

Wow. That's really sad. Makes you wonder if the creation of DIABLO3GOLD was tongue-in-cheek.

Changing the difficulty level must not be viable for all aspects of the game, if it demanded a patch.

I disliked the amount of travel time necessary in D2. It was like playing single-player Runescape in some ways for that reason. Other than that, it was very intuitive and relaxing.
